It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the death on Thursday 1st May 2025, peacefully at his daughter‘s home, of ex PC 688 Michael John WATSON, 88 years. His next of kin, with whom he lived, is Mrs Claire Saunders. Michael joined the RAF but had to leave soon afterwards due to family illness and later joined Derbyshire Police serving in Chaddesden, Spondon, Matlock, Bakewell and Headquarters, retiring in 1991.
He represented the Police team in First Aid Training competitions, which were very popular at the time, against other Forces and the Coal Board. He was a member of the Derbyshire Branch of NARPO, serving on the committee in various roles and as Chairman. He together with his late wife, Ruth, will be remembered for organising the NARPO coach trips locally and abroad. Michael’s funeral has been arranged for 12.00 noon on Monday 2nd June 2025 at Amber Valley Memorial Park and Crematorium, Derby Road, Swanwick DE55 1BH and afterwards at the Dog Inn, Main Road, Pentrich DE5 3RE.
